Question 1: Would you ever date a friends ex?

My best friends have had some sh!t boyfriends and I know better than anyone every dirty detail of how horrible they were, why the hell would I want them?

2023-12-07 02:02:38 +0000 UTCI’m currently dating an old friends ex (we’re not friends and hadn’t talked in like 3 years when I started seeing him) but I wouldn’t ever date my BEST FRIENDS ex, let alone ex FIANCÉ like huh???

2023-11-28 18:58:44 +0000 UTCI would not date a friends ex, however, I am on the other side. After my ex and I broke up, our mutual friend remained friends with us both. After about a year, we started talking and dating. We just kept both sides separate (he would hang out with them and I would not be there), until he had to end the friendship with ex for his own personal unrelated reasons. It’s now been 5 years.

2023-11-26 15:35:32 +0000 UTCI did date a friends ex once. I told her upfront though that there was a connection I wanted to explore. They ended on good terms too, and I feel like that's a giant key to this situation. OP warned her , I still think tough love AFTER being a friend and listening to her in that exact moment. No need to kick her while she's already at rock bottom.

2023-11-23 00:40:24 +0000 UTCI would never date one of my besties exes. Only exception would be if it was like… A crazy magical once in a lifetime connection and I didn’t really know them together as a couple so therefore it was from a long time ago/before I knew my friend. I would definitely talk to them first also. I don’t think I could look at any of my friends partners romantically. Would give me the ick. 😅 A friends ex? Like a light friend? Talk to the friend and make sure it wasn’t recent and be prepared to lose that friend. As for OP, I would do the same thing. Lend an ear and give her the ole “I told you so” and probably kick the friend to the curb 🤷♀️

2023-11-22 08:42:55 +0000 UTCThey did not stay friends, but they definitely have a very unique relationship. They see each other a lot at family events because my grandpa had two kids with his ex wife before they split and their last son is only 6 months younger than my dad, and they pretty much grew up together. I always thought my grandma was miss steal your man, but turns out it wasn't quite that simple lol

2023-11-22 06:35:32 +0000 UTCI’m married to my (ex) friends ex. She became my ex friend before we were together so that’s not why we stopped being friends. She cheated on him and left him and their 4 year old daughter, got into drugs, etc. Was certainly not planned but he says I saved them. What makes it more complicated is my ex was friends with him… in the end though I think we are all better off. Well besides my ex friend, but she chose on her own to throw it all away. I’ve been raising her daughter for 6 years now…

2023-11-22 04:14:06 +0000 UTCNah, she broke the girl code. She didn’t trust her enough to listen to her warnings and all the trauma she went through - I’m with Morgan. I wouldn’t even pick up her phone call honestly.

2023-11-22 03:13:12 +0000 UTCNot a fiancée, no way. My friends feel like sisters to me and I see them & their long term partners like family lol so it would almost feel incestuous. It’s just so off the table

2023-11-22 02:47:26 +0000 UTCI am just caught up on the fact he gave the friend HER old ring, how quick they got together & the fact that her ex messed with her birth control. Messing with her BC is messing with her consent. I feel like the ex & friend might have already hooked up given how quick they got together after OP/ex’s break up

2023-11-22 01:24:16 +0000 UTC99% of the time NO! That 1% is for the one off cases where it actually IS the person you’re supposed to be with/ is the absolute love of your life. I’m talking soulmate type of love. Anything less than that isn’t worth it in my opinion.

2023-11-22 00:42:04 +0000 UTCfor me, it’s very dependent on the length of relationship with the ex, the length of the relationship with the friend, and whether or not the friend was forthcoming with their feelings BEFORE establishing any sort of connection with the ex.
